Adobe has become the latest US company to raise its prices in the UK following Brexit

Adobe informed its UK and Swedish Creative Cloud customers their monthly subscription charges will be higher from next month, blaming "recent changes in exchange rates" in the region.

It becomes the latest US tech company to raise its prices in the UK, thanks to the recent slump in the value of the pound. Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla are among the other companies to have recently announced price hikes following this summer's Brexit vote, which triggered a huge decline in the pound's value.

Adobe's email to customers links to a help page, which explains: "Currency exchange rates have fluctuated significantly over the last few years. Like many US-based global companies, Adobe is making pricing adjustments in a number of countries to offset fluctuations in foreign exchange rate. Starting on March 6, 2017, the price of Adobe products in the United Kingdom and Sweden will be increased."

The price increase will be effective from March 6. It affects products such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, and InDesign, which are used by designers, photographers, and other people working in the creative industries,

The amount Adobe is raising its prices appears to differ from user to user. People on Twitter were noting their subscription fees had raised anywhere between 10% and 50%.

Sterling falls by 20%. Adobe increase their creative cloud prices by 50%. Yet another company cashing in on #brexit#adobe#adobe#cloud
